Does it seem like you are still getting bigger? I'm still down 7 pounds from pre pregnancy and my stomach looks humongus compared to pre pregnancy. Am I going nuts here? I thought my uterus was below my belly button at this point?

I'm down 10 pounds but my pants dont fit anymore and maternity jeans are a little big still. i havent "popped" persay but i feel like my belly has gotten bigger. its a bit frustrating.

I'm still down five pounds but my stomach is getting bigger. My mom commented today that my face is really thin and so is my back. None of my bras fit me because my ribcage got smaller. So even though you are gaining size in your stomach you can be losing some in your arms or legs or something.

I'm still down 10 pounds pre-pregnancy (can't wait to see what my MW says Monday) but can't see where I've lost it. My stomach definitely (finally) popped, but my pants are still tight in all the same places, and same goes with everything else. DH even said he can't tell I'm losing. Gee, thanks honey! Lol.

Initially I dropped about 5 lbs but I think I've gained back two of them. My tummy looks so much bigger. Strangers point out my pregnancy and ask me when I'm due and about the sex. It's still new to me so at first I'm like "when is my what?" lol "oh yeah I'm due in May!"

I am down almost 30 pounds pp (was overweight to start), but I had to buy maternity pants a couple of weeks ago. My dr. does measure every visit and she said my abdomen is and will continue to grow since baby is still growing. I can definately tell more in my face and neck and some in my legs where I lost. My family noticed it in my face the most when we were home for holidays. No worries sounds like you stomach is growing to make room for baby.

I was down nearly 13lbs before I stabilized and started gaining a bit(m/s, cold, more m/s)...didn't start gaining until last weekend, when we kept going out to eat fairly heavy/rich meals while visiting DH's family. Meanwhile, my belly's getting fairly big(can't see my feet without bending over, and it quickly jutted out past my boobs...and considering I was a D/DD before getting KU, that's saying something).

I keep trying to figure out exactly where the weight is being lost from...certainly not my tummy, and everywhere else looks much the same. I think in my case the tummy thing may be partly due to height--I'm only 5'1", so things have to have somewhere to expand, right?

I'm down 5 pounds, and HUGE. People actually laughed when I came in last night and couldn't believe how pregnant I am - I have an impressive bump, again.

I am actually pushing my limits lengthwise on maternity shirts, but I am still wearing prepreg pants. I lost around the love handles and butt, so the pants still fit, but I am VERY obviously pregnant.

I am still down but my stomach is definitely getting bigger. Not that one would definitely be able to tell I am pregnant. I'm sure it is a 50/50 shot if I am just fat. However, my face is thinner. Woo woo.

Thanks everyone for chiming in, it definitely made me feel a lot better
